OK...so today (Saturday) was a slow and unproductive day. But yesterday...

A went in to the Dentist and got 2 small fillings in baby teeth she will loose, but she needs to keep them until sometime between 8-12. She said it didn't hurt, but I know she was scared. They made her as comfortable as possible. She got to watch Scooby Doo...her favorite-at least one of them. But she was still really pale in color for a while.

Then I took T to a Birthday party. There was swimming, scavenger hunts, treasure hunts, and a pinata. A few of her other friends were there. So I know she had a lot of fun. She was invited to stay later but we go with Grandma every year to...

The Co. Fair. So we met up with cousins at Grandma's and went to ride the rides for 2 hours. The kids were exhausted when we got back to eat a late supper.

The day wasn't over yet...my niece from Hubby's side was picked up at the airport while we were at the Fair. So we came home to a playmate T's age. They didn't get to bed until after 10 pm. They should have been tired today and slept in...but no. Up by 7 am as usual.

Our niece was taken up to her mother's this afternoon. Hubby will get back in the morning. It's a 3 1/2 hour trip. Oh, our niece was coming back from an extended stay with the AZ grandparents. T would have gone but she had soccer and swimming lessons this time. Maybe better planning next year and she can go to...but I'm not sure I want to be without her for a month. Not at 7 years old...am I being too protective? Is it my own selfishness? It's a year away and maybe I'll feel differently then.

off to an empty bed :-(
